22.07.2008

Chisinau. Special representatives of mediators (OSCE, Russia and Ukraine) and observers (the EU and the USA) have arrived to Chisinau to meet with the authorities of Moldova and Transnistria in order to facilitate the strengthening of confidence between them.

According to the OSCE press service, the Special Envoy of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Ambassador Heikki Talvitie, will hold talks with President Vladimir Voronin and a meeting with Transdnistrian leader Igor Smirnov has been planned in Tiraspol.

The other two co-mediators – the Russian Federation and Ukraine – in the settlement process will participate in the talks along with the European Union and the United States, both of which have observer status. “We plan to put at the disposal of the sides the full potential of the 3+2 format,” Talvitie said.

In his words, his counterparts and he, as well as the OSCE Mission to Moldova, will help and support confidence- and trust-building initiatives, as this remains the only sustainable solution towards building genuine and productive dialogue.

"We will reiterate our support for matters that benefit and interest both sides. The Finnish Chairmanship will continue to work for a Transdniestrian settlement," Talvitie said.
